I issued the ban.
We need a forum moderator, not a lawyer. Lawyers are good at winning arguments. For the god sake, this is a forum, and we are dumb people (/sarcasm) hanging around. Our sin is that we love this space. When we make a post, we just post it. Only keep the commons in mind that we are not spamming and not harming others.
But this place turns out to be a law enforcement agency where someone makes a small mistake (without being aware*) and they get kicked out very easily. All the blood and sweat means nothing at all at the end.
I don't understand why other mod does not notice such things and keep banning users. It's always you who bring yourself to the spotlight for similar cases.
*Do you think if efialtis knew that he will get banned for this, then he would post such thing? It did not strike his mind (in fact, this does not strike my mind too as a bannable post) the way it struck in your mind, or he would not make such a post. This has nothing to do with his experience and getting banned previously - the altcoin giveaway rule is too complicated to understand, and the interpretation is very different for different users.
Anyway, let's make this place a forum, let's fight against the spammers and scammers to protect the community.
